Abstract

Even though the protective facility is well made with the development of medicine, the spatial dose within the radiation section could increase the exposure of the workers. The spatial dose is always present in distribution room within the Department of Nuclear Medicine, so the spatial dose of the interior distribution room is measured and analyzed for the prediction of the exposure dose. The spatial dose rate was $6.78{\pm}0.083{\mu}Sv/h$ in the $^{18}F$ distribution room of department of Nuclear Medicine, $9.248{\pm}0.013{\mu}Sv/h$ in $^{99m}Tc$, and $^{131}I$ distribution room. In addition, in case of $^{18}F$ distribution room, the yearly external exposure dose was $42.5{\mu}Sv$ when the nurse does IV in 1m in distance. It also showed that the spatial dose rate on the direction of right oblique showed higher than others by the standard of distribution window of distribution room. Therefore, the staying time of the workers should be short during distributing radiopharmaceuticals in the distribution room and the design of the distribution protection is necessary to reduce the exposure in the direction of right oblique of the protection. The utmost endeavors are required to reduce the worker's individual exposure dose while doing IV.

방사선 구역 내부의 공간선량은 의학의 발전과 더불어 방호시설이 잘 되어 있어도 작업종사자의 피폭을 증가시킬 우려가 있다. 핵의학과 내의 분배실은 항상 공간선량이 존재하므로 작업종사자의 피폭선량을 예측하기 위하여 분배실 내부의 공간선량을 측정, 분석 하였다. 핵의학과 $^{18}F$ 분배실의 공간선량률 측정결과 최대 $6.78{\pm}0.083{\mu}Sv/h$, $^{99m}Tc$, $^{131}I$ 분배실의 공간선량률이 최대 $9.248{\pm}0.013{\mu}Sv/h$로 나타났다. 또한, $^{18}F$ 분배실의 경우 1m 거리에서 간호사가 IV시 연간 외부피폭선량은 $42.5{\mu}Sv$로 나타났다. 분배실의 분배창을 기준으로 오른쪽 사방향에서 공간선량률이 높게 나타났다. 따라서 방사성의약품을 분배실에서 분배할 경우 방사선 작업종사자의 머무르는 시간을 짧게 해야 하며, 분배창의 오른쪽 사방향의 경우 피폭을 줄이기 위한 분배창의 설계가 필요하며, IV시 작업종사자의 개인피폭선량을 줄이기 위한 최선의 노력이 필요하다고 사료된다.
